Dogs, tosai and theory of evolution!

Yay! It's Saturday. I managed to sleep in for a while but couldnt sleep for long. Got up around 8 and cleaned up the doggie family's mess on the porch. Shredded newspapers, chewed leaves and sticks.. pup's poops and other part time businesses she does....and hv to content with a nut of a pup chasing round and round a sweeping broom. (I role my eyes)

But lessons can be learned from this canine family a.k.a Mr & Mrs Rocky and little Miss Rocky. They are a happy family. Fooling around with each other, tongues hanging out, tails wagging... u could watch the mother grooming the dad and the baby the whole day. They are so loving.. as loving as only animals can be.

But i had work to do this morning. Breakfast. Yes, i am pretty fed up with that toasted bread thingy 5 times a week since my morning classes dont permit the time for extravagance.
I had soaked and grinded some rice and black dhall last night.. it seemed to be ready, all frothy and slightly sourish.

So i cooked a sambar with carrots and potatoes and prepared coriander coconut chutney. My little one was always holding an empty plate by the stove by 9.00. Tosai turned out ok, except the grilling stone was a bit sticky. Tried that rub the raw onion thingy on it. A bit better. God, it is so much easier just going out and buying tosai!!! But yea... nothing like home cooked stuff when u know what went in there!













Two tosais and two cups of coffee later, i sat down thinking about some stuff. Too many things to think about. Meanwhile digressed and joined the faceparty! But i got pretty bored half way as there were just too many things to fill up, so i left it for later.

The tosai was hvg its effect on my sugary system. I popped the pill and settled down.

The past week had somewhat been like another step forward in my path of personal evolution. Came to realise a few stuff especially on obsessive thoughts.. and how it can affect u in ways u never think it might.

For example obsessive eating. Ive had some obsession with sweet stuff and i knew it was totally not right. But i had no way of coming off it. Till i realised it is just another obsessive thought that refuse to go. U know jus like how ur music CD hangs suddenly and it goes over the same note over and over and over. Yea! U get the idea.

Somewhat it made things easier to handle now that it has a name. Everytime i hv a food thought coming again and again, i tell myself its jus a repeating thought that refuse to go... nothing to do with something my body is craving for or some fused circuit in my mind and worrying unnecessarily about it.

We do create our reality. And it is so simple. What u think right now is ur reality. Whether u r fretting about stuff or just plain grateful for life and feeling happy, it is ur reality. U hv the option to choose. And i can see now how ive created my life so far. At least how ive had a hand in creating it. It motivates u to start doing it better. Now isnt that nice!
